Camden is the most physically gifted O-Lineman in the state., very aggressive. Camden spent a lot of time working on mobility and strength to gain an edge over his opponents. Camden has heavy hands and quick footwork for explosive attacks at the line of scrimmage. Camden is a relentless blocker with power and speed and an excellent technique that allows him to overpower and dominate anyone he faces simply. He is among the best pass protectors not only in the state but the entire region. Camden has an insane work ethic with a hunger and fire to get better every day, and he will become more of a one-man wrecking crew.


Camden's hobbies and things he enjoys when not playing football.


As a man of faith, every day to Camden is a gift, and he believes you must remember who’s in control. Our life has to be a reflection of God, and anytime we drift from the character that Jesus wants us to have, we have to get things in check because your witness is so much bigger than football.

Gaming but I really like to hunt and fish.


This past season, Camden had 58.5 pancakes. So far this season, Camden has elevated that to 71 in through 8 games. Camden's continued development has been incredible. The biggest improvement Camden has made since last season has been his technique in pass protection. They have had a lot more reps with pass pro this season. It is also, making the move from tackle to guard. The most motivating thing that happened last season that will push Camden moving forward was winning OL of the year for 4-5A as a sophomore and getting his first FBS visit to Miami, Ohio.


The defining moment for Camden this season that helped him take his game to another level was being nominated for the National High School Football Player of the Week by Sports Illustrated. Camden has also earned:

2023 TSSAA 4-5A OL of the year. All area, All region, All Underclassman, All state 2nd team. Ranked #3 OL, #17 Athlete in TN class of 2026 by the USA Today sports network and ranked as a Top 5 OL in TN 2026 by Prep Red Zone.


The toughest team Camden faced this year was Cleveland HS due to the level of talent across the entire team. Camden believes they can make a deep tournament run because they have the talent and just need to play hard as a team. Camden feels the biggest challenge for winning a state title is making it through the 5A playoffs with very competitive teams.


Before the snap, Camden is watching for Variations in the defensive formations, identifying any weak spots to attack. This is what helps him be so successful out there. Camden literally brings the level of nastiness and aggression that he is known for.


What fuels Camden's fire the most when he is on that field is his desire to make it to the next level and dominate every play.


When facing adversity, Camden naturally is a laid-back guy, So he keeps his cool on the field and just moves on to the next play.


A coach should know the number one thing that Camden will always bring to the field that separates him from everyone is that he doesn't take plays off, and they will know at the end of every game that he left it all on the field.


Camden sees himself playing at the D1 level and currently has 4 division 1 offers (3 FCS, 1 FBS). Camden will go where he wants and fit in. Camden wants to step on the field and have an immediate impact. Camden would consider a lower division level, but most of his offers are D1. Any division level is an opportunity, but Camden is also a competitor, and he wants to make it as far as he can. Ultimately, it will be where Camden will fit the program and be developed to be the best player possible. This is what would make a school stand out to him.


Camden's advice to those coming behind him is to be coachable, always show respect to those teaching you, and treat every step as a gift. Don’t compare yourself to players with more experience; focus on your development.


Need to know facts and stats about Camden :

Max Back Squat 610 lbs. Max Front Squat 455 lbs. Max Deadlift 545 lbs. Max Bench Press 315 lbs. Max Clean 315 lbs. GPA 3.7 Camps- South Carolina, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Eastern Kentucky, YT Chattanooga, Under Armour Next, Prep Red Zone.


I assess that Camden is a beast that cannot be contained and a one-man wrecking crew from his position. Camden is a high level D1 prospect and getting better every single day. Camden is one the hardest working young stars out there and the evidence is in his performance. Camden is a master of his craft and a student of the game that stays hungry. He is an absolute DOGG!! Keep a close eye on how high he flies.
